Camshaft and Heads compatability question

Hey good afternoon, I have a carb'd sbc 350 with a solid flat tap crane blazer cam .480/.480 lift and I'm interested in swapping my current heads for Edelbrock Performer Heads #60859

Apart from having to swap my current intake, would my cam + heads combo work?

Thank you, Michael

EDIT - Sorry I forgot to add to the question if the valve springs on the Edelbrock heads which are rated for .575 lift, would work on the .480 solid lifter cam?

Sorry I forgot to mention in the question that if the valve springs on the Edelbrock heads that rated for .575 lift, would they work on a .480 solid lifter cam?
